Google Cloud Identity Pricing FAQ

01 Is Google Cloud Identity actually free?

Yes — Cloud Identity Free comes with 50 user licenses by default and Google grants additional free licenses on request via the admin support form. There's no time limit; it's a forever-free tier covering SSO, basic device management, and user provisioning.

02 What's in Cloud Identity Premium that's not in Free?

Premium adds advanced endpoint management (work profiles on Android, fully managed Android Enterprise, Windows device management), Context-Aware Access (location and device-state policies), and the advanced security center with audit logs. Pricing is bundled with Google Workspace subscriptions — there's no standalone per-seat price published.

03 Is Cloud Identity the same as Google Workspace?

No. Workspace is the productivity suite (Gmail, Drive, Docs, Meet). Cloud Identity is identity-only — users, groups, SSO, device management. You can buy Cloud Identity without Workspace to manage identity for users who don't need Google productivity apps.

Is this pricing incorrect? — we'll verify and update it.
